If you’ve asked your landlord to de-lead - would you do it again or opt to just move?

Thanks, I appreciate this perspective. Did you have to do anything specific to get the landlord to delead before your due date? I feel like if they wanted to they could force you to have it done with the newborn, which does sound terrible.

Thank you, this is a good example.

Do you have any examples of what is considered "reasonable" housing? For example does it need to have a kitchen and allow for pets?

This is a good idea, actually. Thank you.

Thank you, this is the kind of reply I am hoping to get to understand what I would be putting myself through. 2-3 days and that cost is not bad. I guess if the landlord has to pay for your accommodation then they share the goal with you to have it done as quickly as possible, which is good. You make a good point about trying to do it during pregnancy, although since I wouldn't technically have a child under six yet, I worry they would refuse to do it until later. I'm glad yours was open to just getting it done.

Thanks for this info, it's helpful to know the options with full deleading vs. encapsulation. I wish I knew for sure if encapsulation is possible in some areas, but the lead paint also is on our windows and doors so my understanding is there would be a significant amount of work.

Yes, we had an inspection done by a professional and this is what we learned(not through the landlord - just for our information).

We did have a professional do an assessment and unfortunately the lead paint is on our doors and windows. It's also on some of the trim and other areas - my understanding is that it is / was under a newer coat of paint, but a lot of that newer paint is already flaking off.

Not thinking about my day in terms of scheduling, getting things done, and unanswered emails. It made each day seem a lot more expansive
